The Lycan King's Fate Calling novel Chapter 27

Sylvia's POV:

Right after dinner, Rufus took me away, regardless of how others would react.

"Uh, is it really appropriate for us to be seen like this?" I whispered nervously as I followed him.

"Well, do you want to turn back now?" Rufus raised an eyebrow and looked at me.

At this time, only a few lights illuminated the balcony area. Rufus stood with his back to the light, making it look like he had a halo of moonlight around his head. He pretended to walk back.

"No! I don't." I hurriedly grabbed his wrist. "I was just asking."

He stopped easily. Was he just kidding around?

No. What was a lycan's business with making jokes? I pushed aside such ridiculous thought.

Rufus led me downstairs, and we met up with a gentle-faced she-wolf who was waiting in the hall.

"Good evening, Prince Rufus. Good evening, Miss Todd."

She bowed politely.

"Sylvia, this is Maya. She is going to be your personal maid. When I'm not around, she will be the one to help you with anything." Rufus looked at me seriously.

I was speechless. I was technically still a slave.

How could I have my own personal maid?

I turned to Maya. She had a round face and her hair was tied neatly back into a simple ponytail. She smiled a lot, which I appreciated.

Seeing that I was still at a loss with this new information, Maya took the initiative to start the conversation. It didn't take long for me to like her very much. With her by my side, I knew it would help make me feel safer in the imperial palace.

"Prince Rufus, wait." A guard came rushing over. "The queen would like to see you."

As usual, Rufus took his time and didn't reply immediately. Instead, he turned to me. There seemed to be worry in his eyes.

When I realized he was worried about leaving me, I nudged him gently and said softly, "Go."
